Bond Quotations | Page 2

Shrugging off statements by the Fed last week, mortgage rates remained relatively more stable than bond market yields. Without a key indicator that would move it one way or another, the financial market is in something of a state of limbo.

Should the job market continue to strengthen, the bond market might become a far less placid place than it has been lately.

Shopping: I like to walk down Bond Street, thinking of all the things I don't want

She expressed her concerns to Senator Bond that this should not be taking place on an appropriations bill.

Shane Bond has gone through their top order and I know I'd be pretty anxious about facing him if I were the Indian top-order tomorrow,

Since my mother passed away, my father and I forged a bond that is so tighter than one could possibly imagine. Keep in mind, I am an only child, so I was always fiercely close with both my parents. The tragedy my father and I endured when my mother passed created a bond between us that no amount of force can break.

Mizuno's comments seem to be a message to the bond market that it should not be surprised by a rate move anytime.

Much of the bond between mother and daughter can be traced back to early childhood,

much more of a pain in the ass than recording the song. It was like making a mini Bond film.

Mayor (Richard) Daley's vision of a modernized O'Hare is moving full steam ahead, and this historic bond sale is another important milestone that has been reached as this critical project is implemented.

Mayor John and I shared a common bond -- we were elected Republican mayors in a largely Democratic city,

Mayor Daley's vision of a modernized O'Hare is moving full steam ahead, and this historic bond sale is another important milestone that has been reached as this critical project is implemented.

Maybe we haven't seen the same magnitude of rate declines that we typically have seen in easing cycles, but directionally it has been a fairly classic bond market reaction to the easing cycle.

Measured could go away, ... Greenspan wants the yield on the 10-year Treasury to go up because usually, long rates are not this low until late in a tightening cycle. The bond market may be underestimating how much more tightening needs to be done.

My initial reaction is no, it will not bankrupt the companies. Florida passed a law that if companies have to post a bond to pay huge punitive damages, it's capped. But that law has not been tested.

Nobody feels they have to buy the market at higher prices, at least not yet. Stocks have had a nice recovery, they're up overseas, the dollar is weaker -- so people are saying there's no real reason to buy the bond market.

One of the things that has strengthened the bond between Laura and me over the years is our shared belief in giving of ourselves to improve the life of our community. We are honored to receive this award and pledge to always strive to live up to the high ideals of its namesake and those of The Jewish Theological Seminary.

One of the things frankly we have to do is demystify (the CIA) a little bit, ... You are not going to be James Bond if you sign up and five years later you're going to be driving an Aston Martin with a beautiful young lady at your side on the Riviera. You might be, but I'm not aware of that program yet.

One of our concerns is rising interest rates, and that, as you can imagine, for a bond issue this size is a big consideration.

Obviously, we're hopeful that the bond act does pass. These are crucial projects, and certainly the bond act would be a good thing for the Mohawk Valley.

No one has a feel for where the bottom is. The bond market is in a holding pattern waiting to see what the stock market does.

No one knew better than I did how close we came to not having a bond bill in this session. It took a lot of late hours, hard work and negotiating.

No, no, no, no, no! He's totally not got the suave elegance that Bond needs - and as for making Bond

My concern is that what's happened here is that inflation is higher than the Fed anticipated. On top of that, the kind of tightening already imposed by the markets, in terms of lower equities and higher bond yields, is setting up weaker growth in 2005.

Mortgage rates are going to go up, the long bond rate is going to go up. The only question is what is the precipitating event.

Now we're going to see more pressure on the bond market and an already stressed equity market. There's a lot of concern and we're seeing some defensive investing. This number shows that the Fed will continue raising rates. Numbers like this show that we're in store for two more hikes.

Now the task is to raise the bond money that the judge has set in this case.

Now that the market has had a first quarter that will make pretty big headlines, that will cause a lot of investors to exit cash positions and exit some bond positions and move that money into stocks. Investors don't want to be left out.

Obviously, there's going to be some need for some bond money. We are at the point where we really are going to need to make some expansions.

Nobody was more excited than his older brother. There's a pretty strong bond between those two.

People will view a worse-than-expected machinery orders figure as a bond positive. That may help bonds trim some of losses.

Policy makers want to make sure in the language of their statement that whatever they do, it's meant as insurance -- they don't want to create alarm about the state of the economy, but they also don't want to create alarm in the bond market about the end of accommodative policy,

My sense is that this bounce in bond prices and drop in yield is probably short-term.

New York City identified and shared a mutual love affair with John and Yoko (Ono), and now more than ever, that unbreakable bond grows even stronger in this time of healing.

Near-term, I think stocks probably will act reasonably well following the bond market. As long as bonds act well, stocks will act well.

On the prices paid index, you're down 50 points from the highs in October, which the bond market clearly likes.

On the day, you're just seeing traders take some profits in response to an overbought condition after the rally, but longer-term there is a real concern about the bond market being at a 45-year low and the risks of deflation.

I was struggling in the One Day series but when you look at how I got out, I was getting myself out most of the times but I did make some adjustment to (Shane) Bond by trying to be a bit more chest on, he's a big swinger of the new ball, he's a strike bowler and the competition up there is very stiff.

I would expect the bond is going to do a lot better after this report. You look at this headline (and) it worries you, but then you look at the details in this report and you see what is going on. I think the more people look at this report today, the more they are going to like it, the less they are going to fear it, and the better the bond market is going to do.

I grew up on the Bond movies. The first one I saw was 'Diamonds Are Forever,' when I was a kid. I just loved them to pieces.

If we don't pass bond elections for schools and we have overcrowded schools, it's much more difficult for us recruit new jobs for people to live their own American dream,

If we fill to capacity we don't have to do a tax or bond to cover the rest.

If we hadn't had a recession a year ago, and we were watching the fall in employment, a stalling manufacturing sector, falling bond yields and falling stock prices, many people would think we were entering a recession. There's an assumption that the recovery will continue and get stronger next year, when in fact it's possible the economy's tipping over again.

If we don't build new schools outlined in the bond issue, we will have to put the projected 7,500 students expected in the next four years in existing classrooms and portable buildings,

I got my license after 2001 for me I am going to have to hold up a $300,000 bond each year for the protection of consumers.

If they don't move to a neutral position, the bond market will react negatively. If the Fed sits there and reiterates the same risk on inflation, the bond market is going to look at this and say the Fed is way behind the curve.

If we continue to see sharp hikes in yields, then stocks will face tougher competition from bonds. But if bond yields can stabilize here, or just move up modestly, stocks can tough it out.

I'd like to be next to Judy Dench purely because I think she might get me a part as a Bond villain. I think I would be a good villain.

I don't know what the bond market has been worried about. There's much talk about the possibility of inflation beginning to pick up. I don't see any signs of that at all apart from the rise in energy prices, which we all knew was going to take place.

I couldn't really understand the basic plot of The World Is Not Enough. What does Bond have to do with that? And to have M in Azerbaijan? For what purpose would M travel there?.And what was exactly the goal of the Villain in that one? So complicated.

I'd been a Bond girl and in Dracula films and 'Coronation Street,' but I was always hunting for work. After 'The New Avengers,' I never had to wait for work again.

I am constantly holding him and the whole ordeal makes my bond with him so much stronger.

I believe this is a very responsible bond package.

I am thrilled to be featured alongside Sean Connery in the game version of one of my favorite Bond films. It's not every day you get to become a Bond Girl so this is a great honour.

Based on the current level of bond yields and earnings fair value around 5 600 points, the dividend yield remains attractive compared to alternative investments.

Based on population growth. We could pay off the existing bond early, or as the bond is paid down we could go to voters for new facilities without raising their taxes.

Bay Area public services have not kept pace with demands of our economy and growing population. Freeways are jammed, commutes are longer, the power supply is vulnerable to a hot summer, and water systems could snap in a major earthquake. Well aware of this, business leaders can be optimistic that negotiations between the Governor and the Legislature on an infrastructure bond are focusing on what gets funded not if there's a need for funding.

Basically, it's the group of guys that I'm around. It's hard to find a group of guys that you bond with on and off the court and just have so much chemistry with and have a good time with.

Basically, I'm still committed to Charlotte, but I'm looking at other schools. With (Coach) Hill leaving, the bond is not the same. I still love Charlotte and the city, and the city loves me. It might not be the best move, though, for me to go there. More than likely I'll end up at Kansas State, but I'm not really sure.

Baseball and business are all about relationships, like the bond between a team and its fans. The White Sox organization's long-term relationship with Miller Brewing has connected our fans to their beers.

Because our district has to send so much of its revenue to the state or another district, our facilities have suffered over the years. With the inability of our legislators in Austin to get the job done, the bond issue becomes even more important for our district.

I have a hard time seeing the bond market going higher from here.

I felt 'Quantum of Solace' completely lost its way. We were lucky on 'Casino Royale:' it was the origin story of Bond. Bond had the one and only affair that meant anything to him, and affected him throughout the rest of the series.

I feel no bond with South Africa, which is curious, since South Africa is where I was born.

If bond yields keep rising which I think they will, then not even stocks are safe from a welcome decline in energy prices. In this case lower energy prices could prove to be a Trojan horse unleashing a problematic rise in market rates.

I feel more of a kindred bond with the men people compare me to than the women. If someone says Bon Scott or Guns N' Roses, I'll take that any day over Peaches.

I found it hard to get close to my stepfather at first. He began giving me singing lessons when I was about 7 or 8 in an effort to create a bond between us.

Given the drop in bond yields, stocks which were comparatively cheap before, have become even more attractive to buy. This drop in bond yields may finally be the catalyst we need to propel stocks out of the trading range they have been mired in.

Given the depth and complexity of the bond market, as well as its numerous inefficiencies and opportunities, bond funds deserve a lot more attention from individual investors,

Gains of stocks are making it difficult for bond investors to buy.

Fully three-quarters of the time in the past five years when we endured a bond yield spasm like we have seen since mid-January, GDP (gross domestic product) growth slowed the following quarter and by an average of one percentage point.

From the economic viewpoint, Treasury yields are too low. We are expecting robust growth in the first quarter and that will lead to a correction in the bond market.

If a husband leaves his wife, their children may bring them back together in the world, and the bond is established.

Given the trend of an aging population, especially in Japan, I would presume that the 30-year bond in particular should fetch decent prices.

If it comes in too weak, you get worries about the economy. If you get a blowout number, everyone will get obsessed about interest rates again, the bond market will go into a tizzy, and stocks will slide.

If the economy keeps growing at a faster pace, the Fed may need to boost rates for longer than what markets are currently expecting. I think that's what the stock and bond markets are reacting to right now.

If the currency is going to weaken, the U.S. dollar, that is, it raises the prospect of expatriation of funds back to their home domiciles. That would bring some renewed pressure on the bond market.

If the bond fails, facility conditions in the district will continue to worsen, they won't get any better.

If the equity market continues to retrench, then there's going to be quality flows coming into the Treasury arena that push bond yields lower,

If the incoming data remain relatively soft, including the inflation data, the Fed will take a pass in August, ... Even if they do raise rates, it may well be the end of the tightening cycle, which is very good news for the stock and bond markets.

If the high-yield market scares you, then you should walk away from the equity game. If there's any money to be had anywhere, you'll get it in the bond market.

I always prefer shooting on locations, because when I'm at home, it's harder to sort of get lost in the world of whatever you're making. It does, it does force this bond and community amongst a group.

He was very well liked, and he believed in the same morals and principles we all do here. You get a bond with someone like that that is very special.

He developed a bond up there for a reason. Their fan base is the same as ours; they appreciate maximum effort, accountability, he's a genuine guy and he lights up a room. I look forward to our fan base developing the same bond he had with that fan base.

He is always ringing me up and telling me stories. He is such a great foil for the England boys. He draws from all the others and then comes in with the craic. This England team have a bond, the bond of Bunbury.

He isn't the sort of person that I see as being the Bond that the general public has become used to,

He doesn't give much slack to anybody, but he definitely had a little bond early on, especially when he first came in.

He felt Bond should be hard and fatalistic, and make no attempt to endear himself to the audience, who should dislike him until they get to know him and appreciate he is their idea of an efficient agent.

He (Elian) has a father, and there is a bond between father and son that the law recognizes and tries to honor, ... We have no information that would indicate that that legal connection, that bond should not be honored.

He does not want a rapid break in bond prices to snuff out the jobs recovery before it has a chance to catch hold.

Having betrayed the trust of his own patients, Harold Shipman should not be allowed to break the vital bond of trust that exists between family doctors and their patients,

He looks like he could do the sort of things Bond does, which is hard for actors to do since most of them are nice guys who don't rappel from helicopters to shoot people,

He looks like he could actually do the sort of things Bond does, which is hard for actors to do, since most of them are nice guys who don't pack guns or rappel from helicopters to shoot people.

Hence, low bond yields are ambiguous for policy. It's a classic on the one hand, on the other hand speech.

We talked a little bit about certain teams that we've played, and what works and what doesn't. That little bond helps, where we share little secrets.

We're pretty pleased with how it turned out. To Garbage fans, it sounds like a Garbage song. And to Bond fans, it's a Bond song.

We've got to stand up and put it (a bond issue) on the ballot... I've got to pay taxes like everybody else, but it will benefit us all, not just kids, the whole community. A school tells me what the community is like,

We thought we took all the right steps. The rating agencies were comfortable with it, but the bond market turned out not to be.

We are extremely pleased with the demand for our global bond issue. We believe this affirms investor confidence in the Philippines and its ability to move forward with the policy reforms necessary to sustain economic growth,
